The stone stele monument for the agreement on transferring the Mongol Shunkhan Tanjur7 for permanent custody of the Institute of Sutra and Scripts.
Qinwang1 Nayant had requested to inscribe the Tanjur Agreement on the monument, which was stated in Provision #7 of the agreement. O. Jamiyan, director of the Institute of Sutra and Scripts, assigned N. Devendev to accomplish this task. N.Dendev designed the stele monument in a style identical to the stele at Dambadarjaa monastery and started engraving the memorial in 1929, leaving the last few words unfinished. Later, in 1954, N.Dendev, aged 64 at that time, finished carving the incomplete 64 letters and his signature as instructed by the Mongolian Academy of Sciences. He started making the stele when he was 37, and it took him 27 years to finish engraving the stele inscription. It was inscribed on the list of documentary heritage of UNESCO’s International Memory of the World Register in 2017.
